About the author

F. B. Wright, listed in library catalogs as Frederic B. Wright and born in 1867, is a little-documented author whose known books are mainly practical manuals rather than literary works.

The title most clearly associated with him is A Practical Handbook on the Distillation of Alcohol from Farm Products, published in the early 1900s and later preserved by libraries, the Internet Archive, and Project Gutenberg. He is also credited with Inventions, How to Protect, Sell and Buy Them, which points to an interest in applied technology and useful guidance for working readers.

Reliable biographical detail beyond his name and birth year was not easy to confirm from major accessible sources, so his profile is best understood through his books: concise, technical, and written to explain specialized subjects in a practical way.
